I occasionally get a mood on me where I want to read a terrible Fantasy novel. This happened once when I was at Barnes & Noble on an unrelated binge, and I ran through the appropriate aisle. I took one look at the cover of "Yendi", and I thought "A-ha. It's perfect! It's like some kind of fantasy version of the Flinx of the Commonwealth series. This is bound to suck." There was a quote on there about how someone was in love with the person that would later kill them, and I figured I was in for a horrible treat. And then I got it home and it massively disappointed me by being very good. After that some predictable things happened, a couple of which involved eBay since some stuff was out of print. This would be about six years ago or so. As for which are the favorites, I can't say for sure; I've finished with the novels, but I've just now gotten some of the short stories and I'm still missing a few, plus I haven't read the graphic novel yet. Which, hey, might be my favorite after all. You never know, right? In the meantime, it's Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grille. Which Steve doesn't seem to like, but who cares what that guy thinks anyway?
